The "old" airwolf Cd Rom concept started out back in 2004 and had a random release in 2005. That is no longer compatible with newer versions of windows.

So i decided to work on some NEW smaller programs that cover some specific fields of airwolf history.

Known Airdates & Production Code Screen for Each Episode

Airdates, Re-Run Dates, Production Codes, Cast Bio's, Trivia, Bloopers, Behind the Scenes and a host of other little features make up a great looking guide with a stack of information.

ALL SEARCHABLE OFFLINE

NO 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE OR PLUGINS NEEDED...

NO INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED...

Well.. unless you wish to use the Internet Links collection accessed on any screen by simply pressing  L

Biography Screens

Bio screens for actors, actresses, stunt men, pilots, writers.. random crew..

Real names, Actors Guild names, Births, Deaths, Home Towns, Age, Heights.. its a mission...

It's a big undertaking for a project like this & again highly time consuming (its a hobby for a show i love) Not something i'm essentially looking to cash in on.

The licensing for retail would be retarded making its cost ridiculously high.

Tv Ad Clippings

Imagine on an "Episode Screen" you could press the letter  C  and it opens up a box were you can view the tv guides clippings for the actual episode.

OR

Imagine pressing  C  on the "Episode List" to view all clippings from that specific series of episodes.

It's a project no ones taken on simply because theirs no way to make money off it.. Likewise with the merchandise guide, no money to be made off that neither...

The Movie Information Screen

I don't no the future of this project, but i have ideas, some will work, some legally wont work.. 

Imagine on an episode/series "list"  you could press  P  for promo & a screen pops up with all the promo photos from that specific series.. or press P  on an episode screen for promo photos featured from that specific episode, sadly not directly legal.

The behind the scenes aspect "is possible" but its limited to the photos available to me & the community. We have sharks, every time a crew member dies. anyone pops up with photos they disappear and so do the photos.. Seller & Buyers prerogative.. i get it.. but (me & others) have seen people offer photos freely & they've been persuaded to sell & vanish... again sadly there choice..

Trivia Tab Example

 Each episode has a Trivia Tab which starts off with working title, final title, the script dates, awards won or nominations if any. Also any accidents on set.

Then it goes into some random trivia about key moments, filming locations,  reoccurring people along with things seen and identified within the episodes.

Further down the trivia tab is a Q and A section were some of the most common questions raised about the episode are listed and answered.

For random trivia on the show (as a whole)  there are buttons on the Help Screen  that offer random Q and A and trivia about the actual series its self that are none episode specific.

Episode / Cast Overview Box

All season 1 to 4 (credited stars) are in and faces have been added to 99.9% of those from Season 1 to 3. You can press  O on an episode screen to view the Cast Overview Dialogue Box.

A lot of credits have been fixed  in relation to a lot of incorrect information seen on other websites both past and present. A lot of credits have also been expanded upon along with character & surnames too. As of v2.1  it is the most accurate Airwolf cast listing  ever compiled under one search engine.

The readme file or using T for search terms will help you get more use out the search engine when trying to find specifics.

At some stage this software should pretty much also double as a video editors hand book, searching for something like  REFUEL  and pressing   N   on either of the screens offered gives a good example of that. Likewise searching for DOMFLYS or CAITFLYS to list the episodes bearing scenes of those characters in the Airwolf pilot seat is another feature for editors to narrow down episodes.  You'll also find on season 1 & 4 episode screens you can press  D  for  Dialogue (sadly season 2 & 3 has no subtitles.. unless you have them ?)
Game mod and addon makers can also make use of the head shots and heights on Bio screens, the diversity of this resource is only limited by the content and the user of it..

Aircraft / Vehicles Index

Most the helicopters and planes are in, motorbikes, some car's, mainly focused on planes and helicopters for now.

What is interesting is some (only a few at the moment) have an option to view Before Airwolf / After Airwolf. Which means you can bring up a slide show of its past and future.

The links to those tabs are Right next to the CONSTRUCTION DATE If available for that item. See the N2044C screen as a example. 

Each item has a mouse over tool tip with some brief information and when you do mouse over a menu item you also get an image that appears in the top left corner.

Cuts down clicking having preview info on the mouse over.

A Location Dialogue Box

I won't be going crazy with location information unless people directly submit specifics, images and other stuff.. So for now im just going with a lot of the basics that generally get raised.

The work goes on with this project randomly, so use the update option to check for any, Or "follow" the Post in the fb group HERE. to be notified of replies related to this software.

Make sure you read the Readme.TXT

========================================
IF YOU LOOKED FOR A PERSON YOU'D GET THIS SORT OF RESULT IN THE SEARCH LIST

String-Fellow Hawke - Jan-Michael Vincent (15/JUL/1944) to (10/FEB/2019)

EASY TO UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT WORTH REMEMBERING THE "search result"
ALWAYS SHOWS THE CHARACTER NAME / ACTOR NAME / D.O.B / D.O.D
and always in that order

It's Worth remembering that Airdate and Birthday searches use the whole month spelling and day first, EXAMPLE: 22 JANUARY 1984.

Dealing with deceased or aircraft dates use 3 characters and the /  EXAMPLE 22/JAN/1984, The symbol is required to prevent the search picking up on the characters within the birthday month search term.
